Adaptive robust control of general anesthesia with event-based surgery optimization Ghent University
In this project, innovative concepts of fractional order control, combined with event-triggered supervisory control loops are designed and tested on a full anesthesia-hemodynamic patient simulator. Added features to allow such validation and demonstrator tools are necessary to be implemented in the existing patient simulator: i.e. patient models variability, blood loss effects in time constant and steady-state values, disturbance profiles ...
Development of an integrated end-to-end simulation platform for continuous manufacturing of oral tablets Ghent University
Despite manufacturing innovations and technologies on the rise, solid oral dosage in the pharmaceutical industry is still mass production. Although this is efficient and cost-effective, it is typically based on a ‘one-size-fits-all’ product concept and lacks the flexibility and agility required to fully meet the needs of the individual patient. Nowadays the pharmaceutical industry is experiencing a paradigm shift from batch to continuous ...
Inverse magnetoelectric effects at the nanoscale for advanced magnetic memories KU Leuven
Magnetic memories are presently intensely researched for embedded memory applications. Especially magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) has recently been started to be commercialized in consumer appliances and it can be expected that it will become broadly used in the near future. In such magnetic memories, the information is stored in the orientation of the perpendicular magnetization in a magnetic tunnel junction. The resistance of the ...
Heat transfer to refrigerants in the near supercritical region Ghent University
The discussion about energy takes a central role, whether it is about energy security, energy cost or the transition to renewable energy. An often overlooked part however is that most of this energy comes in the form of heat. It can, amongst others, be solar heat, process heat and geothermal heat. When talking about heat, one of the first questions that arises is how to efficiently transfer heat. For many applications this has been thoroughly ...
Fundamental study on self-lubricating characteristics of polymer from the perspective of wear response, interfacial dynamics and the formation of transfer layer. Ghent University
Investigating particle generation and transfer layer dynamicity at micron-scale provides precise information on the polymer wear process. Parameters contributing specifically to mild, transition and severe wear are studied for its physical interaction process in continuous sliding using advanced image based in-situ monitoring of contact surface. Thereby understanding the complex self-protecting and lubricating nature of polymers.
